For me, this driver has some serious issues with a 2.6 kernel on an AMD64 box.
I have sent a bug report to itesupport, once I got them to acknowledge that
they actually wrote the driver (the first response was to talk to nvidia!),
but I've heard nothing since. Distro is Gentoo 2004.0 - had to shoehorn in
the source code into the linux kernel tree, as it wouldn't build outside of
the tree.
If anyone cares:

At this point the system locked into a loop of resets. Had to use the power
button :(
